Abstract:The gigantic petroleum exploration and production are
threatening
the lives and well-being of people and other species. Pizeocatalysis
is a bridge to transfer ceaseless mechanical energy to chemical energy
and thus triggers redox reactions. In this study, piezoelectric MoS2 was used as a surface-washing fluid to physically and chemically
decontaminate oiled sands. The MoS2 displayed single- and
few-layer structures, which were conducive to piezocatalysis. The
addition of MoS2 could decrease the interfacial ten… Show more
